there was a detailed answer to this question about a year or so, regarding using a gasgas lever on a p 65 bike cant remeber anything else other than it wasnt a straight forward bolt on and forget solution.. and here after 5 mins on the search engine is the answer... http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....asgas+kickstart the best bit is abut half way down

jus happen to have on my desk as part of the annual desk clearout the spec that martyn adams was setting up cubs on PHBL 20 40 slide d40 needle b2260 atom 9.5 float 45 choke 35 pilot 2.5 turns out 118 main not strictly what you asked for but probably will be cheaper in the long run with a guarenteed end result..

i think the bike might be a little earlier than 59, i had a 59 scottish and the rear frame is more substantial i'm plumping for a 58.. thats done it going up aginst john..

writing out my tenetaive xmas card list for them with the credit card (that i pay for) speculatively how much for plastics for my rev3.. i know i could give gary a ring tomorrow but SHE needs to know..

The scottish Tommy Sandham trials riding max kingeditions 1 to 5 classic british trials bikes don morley classic british 2 stroke trials bikes don morley lochaber rich mixture ed stott greatest of all trials phillip smith trials and trials riding a b bourne all based on p 65 trials by that i mean british trials before 1965 not the present p 65 trials bikes or riders that little lot (if you can find them) should set you back at least 150quid.. i suspect if you started from scratch you might find them all inside a year..

yeh i thought the same way but did the mod as specced on the ssdt link anyway and.. boy was i grateful when i 'forded' a foot deep 10 yard wide stream at about 30 mph out on the moors the airbox was half full of water and yorkhire moors uick turn of the tap wrung the air filter out and wipe of the airbox with an oily wrag and away we went stood still maybe 4/5 minutes. without the pipe iw ould have been using the wrag to mop up the water for at least 10/15 minutes for a mod that only took half an hour.

air box and carb most likely culprits if you cant work on it in the next 24 hours pour some neat oil in the spark plug hole and turn it over just to lub in case any moisture in there have you a spark? if so whip the air box off clean it up and dry it out make sure the airfilter is clean and lubed put it back together kick it up if not take the carb off and strip it down

hello over the water.. what you need is a two pack resin from Wyldes, a motorcycle shop in Leeds, yorkshire, England i've done a couple of tanks one fibreglass one steel with the stuff. just empty the tank out , rinse with petrol and leave out in the sun for a day before putting the stuff in it takes about 72 hours to go off so that you can use the tank again. only used it the once on a tank that had already been coated with something else and cracked and i left the old stuff on, just applying the new stuff over the top.

well the good news is that once fitted and working you won't believe the difference. On the other hand the machining probably would be better done with the engine on the bench at least. insitu in the frame it probably could be done with a dremel or something like that. I didnt fit mine originally but i have had it in bits a couple of times when messing with the clutch. i'd get someone to do it who has done it before or do it with them or at least take one apart that has been done to understand how much and where. sorry if thats a bit vague..

those are the fellows i was looking for last night, gasgas it's not worth the effort or the time, just post these lads your shoes and you get new ones back in a couple of days with the bonus that you have some comeback if they dont work

ROSSI WASN'T UNLUCKY HE WAS BEATEN BY A FASTER GUY ON A FASTER BIKE WHO RODE IT LIKE THERE WILL BE NO TOMMOROW. THE DOCTOR IS A DIETY ON A BIKE BUT THIS AUSSIE KID TOOK THE RACE BY REFUSING TO BE BEAT. BRILLIANT CLOSE RIDING FROM THEM BOTH

THERES A COMPANY SOMEWHERE ON THE M62 CORRIDOR WHO IF YOU SEND THEM YOUR SHOES WILL FIT LININGS OF WHATEVER THICKNESS YOU WANT. TURNAROUND IS ABOUT 72 HOURS THEY ADVERTISE IN THE CLASSIC BIKE MAGS, SORRY I CANT REMEMBER THIER NAME AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT

dont forget that a bit of machining is required too so you may as well use alan or somebody like him and get the whole lot done at once

takes me back, typical rwd saloon problems, too much power not enough rear tyre not enough rear wing equals HUGE FUN..

dont overlook the bleeding obvious is your rear brake locking up when it stalls..

go for the 'easy start spray' and the warm spark plug my '72 montesa was a pig to start if it had been laid up for a month or so and even with the air filter off anf more than generous helping of the spray it would stilll take a trilllion kicks but when it was going once you could stop and start at will as long as you left it no longer than about a week between runs

cant get there this time but Mull is a fantastic spot drove in the rally in the 80's the people were really great the night life was fun and it was cheap only downside is its a long way but what a fantastic venue for any motorsport

be aware with the PVL that they are not all the same make sure you get a dedicated trials one from someone like alan whitton, may not be the cheapest but it will be the pucker stuff..

there have been other questions in teh forum about the correct sizes for needles valves etc. back to real basics though.. if the carb runs with the choke on but will not run without it the carb is too lean or more likely air is getting in somewhere between the carb and cylinder through either of the two joints or the manifold itself. so strip it off clean it up make sure that the faces that mate are flat on a piece of glass use new gaskets and bolt it all back up. if it still runs on the choke but not without it follow Odgies advice

if your garage has a side door as well as the up and over only use the side door and bolt the up and over closed by putting padlocks through the runners above the door this will stop it opening short of taking the damn thing off always chain the bike to something even if its just the patio furniture 9how easy to wheel your bike away whilst chained to a table and four chairs..

I think though that the bike 'lives' in the lake district with the bike that Carlas Casa's rides? http://yorksclassictrials.co.uk/images/Lad...amSection5..JPG http://yorksclassictrials.co.uk/images/Caw...amSection4..JPG on a similar vein this is the bike Jill Driifield rode to a first class award and The Joan Westbrook Trophy on 32 I should credit Barry Pickard with the photos.

how long until the next BSA victory? (Although Jill Driffield did win the ladies award on a bantam this year in the P65 and a first class award)

keep your cash in your wallet, why do you think trials are so popular in Yorkshire? for any trial that is entirely off road all you need is the bike; no tax, insurance registration number or MOT required if your trials bike is registered ( you have a V5 or the new V5C registration document) and your only goimg to use it off road then you need to declare it SORN with the DVLA (form at the Post office) even thats FREE! any trial that will use the public road will say so in the reg's/ entry form and for that the bike will need a registration number tax MOT and insurance. For the MOT the bike will need a horn ( electric single tone) a registration number and thats it. if it has lights they must work (headlight, rear light and brake light) so if it has lights get em off.. you only need a speedo when you ride on the road ironicallly you dont need one for the MOT test.
